Various stuff...
First – I saw this on Yarn Harlot and thought it looked fun, so:
– my favourite knitting seat. John despairs of the top of the chest of drawers and the back of the sofa. And that bolster has taken several years to squash it into exactly the right shape – be warned, I do NOT appreciate it being plumped back to its original form!
And now we have the current state of play on Elijah’s hat:
Those of you who have read me before will be thinking “I’ve seen that pic before”, but no, scroll down a little way, count the stripes – a few days ago I was partway through the sixth stripe – now I’m just about to start the fourth one… It seems that casting on “about the right number of stitches” created a hat which would have been too big for me, never mind our one-year-old neighbour. So it got frogged, and I’ve started again. (How little knitting time?)
I was a little disappointed to start with when this
arrived – the picture on the Celticove website made it look much more golden than this. But now I’m falling in love with it. It’s going to be a hat for me – just look at those little flecks of colour hiding in it – Mmmmmm. (And it was in their bargain basement – reduced from £10.80 to £5.99 
)
And today we put our tree up:
(I couldn’t get a picture which showed both the lights and wasn’t horribly blurred, so I had a play with the Gimp – apparently this is a cubist version… )
And final couple of nauseatingly proud mummy moments before I go and get on with some knitting (sitting by the tree, listening to a knitcast) – 1) Ruth can count to four
2) Adam begged for more sprouts at dinner time tonight. We could have done without the whinging that went with it, but still…
one comment:
Oh good, I found the pic of your sofa etc a big relief. Mine looks much the same! And I have piles of knitting (in carrier bags) down the side of the sofa too!Daisy () (link) - 18 December '05 - 12:26
